The rate of epigenetic drift scales with maximum lifespan across mammals

Abstract Epigenetic drift or “disorder” increases across the mouse lifespan and is suggested to underlie epigenetic clock signals. While the role of epigenetic drift in determining maximum lifespan across species has been debated, robust tests of this hypothesis are lacking. Here, we test if epigene...
